One of the five men arrested near RAF Fairford as part of a terror investigation reportedly called police himself before the arrests took place, according to details that have since emerged.
The man, in his 20s and from London, dialled 999 to report the incident, a call that has been cited as one of the reasons armed police were dispatched to arrest the group.
The arrests occurred near the Gloucestershire military base, which is used by the United States for operations, including strikes against Iran, and had prompted fears of a possible Iran-backed plot.
The men were found together with three vans close to the base at the time of their arrest, according to reports on the investigation.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the specific nature of the alleged plot or the current status of the investigation into the five men.
